arched planter

16 comments


we have a decking plant stand at the top of the garden

we then thought it would be nice to add some flowers and a climber to this so all the rubble we had hiddenn inside it had to come out,then we bought a couple of cheap arch ways joined them together and placed them so they went over the top of the planter

then peter made a fan out of string to fan out at the back of the arches.we then put some bulbs in that will come up next year and some bedding plants for this year,all we are waiting for now is the climber to arrive then it is complete.

This is lovely the archways joined together works well, when the arch is covered are you thinking of shade loving plants in side?

It's a very good idea. What climbing plant are you going to have ?

hi there
the climber we are going to put in the arch planter is a china fleece vine.
hopefully it will help to cover a dull area,and because of where its stuated that area dose'nt get alot of shade always in full sun.
